In the spirit of Muehlhauser's list of textbooks ( http://lesswrong.com/lw/3gu/the_best_textbooks_on_every_subject/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/3gu/the_best_textbooks_on_every_subj... ) can anyone recommend a more technical introductions to Shor's algorithm -- kets allowed -- who's read at least two other such introductions?
- nur0n 9y agoHmm, I disagree with some of the recommendations on this list. Even if people could agree on the overall quality of books, it is not the only factor which should be considered when choosing a book. For example, one might choose a book which is lower quality(however that might be defined) in order to use a book whose goals more closely align with those of the reader.
- sampo 9y agoI can't recommend in the spirit that you mention, but the description in Nakahara's book Quantum Computing is surely technical and detailed enough. It so happens that googling for the book, I happened to find a whole text pdf in the results.
